Props and bolts, in my truss system. As I did this one?

In carrying out the next stage in its construction alone, think that "fun" is nowhere. And then there's ...

Suffer with the installation of raftersIt's time to put them to gain. I had to do this in view of the fact that the floor is an attic, so strong struts across the whole space I can not deliver.

Yes it's really not necessary. Rafter foot 50 to 200 mm., And ramp length of 6 meters, do not require substantial gains.

Of course literate people make a complete calculation... But I figured to soothe, to an online calculator:

❗ And based on my parameters, unsupported span in the rafters, without support, has turned around 4 meters. Ie, most importantly, that between the post and the bolt does not exceed this value.

But I was so clear, and on the basis of common sense, and in spite of these already built examples that even small mullions and transoms will be enough.

Especially since it was necessary to meet the rest of the board. So that the length of all elements was selected starting mainly from this factor.😊

Racks.

It was the easiest:

Their length I made 1200 mm. The bottom of the racks was placed directly on the floor joists. And as with the rafter beams lapped, i.e. are mixing with respect to each other, the top rack, to connect to the junction with the rafter foot did not work.

This node 120 I connected with nails bend and pin 12 mm.

Places mounting racks joists, I plan in the future to strengthen, connecting them, such as the board, so that they did not dance alone, but working together.

I think, whether so it is necessary to reinforce the top of the racks? Who knows, write in the comments.

Rigel.

Here began the torment.

❗ Board 2 meters, even crude, heavy, respectively. And it needs to be:

• Raise the top.
• In the hanging position to put in the level.
• And holding level to fix everything in place.
• And most importantly, as I said, all you need to do the same.

Zapilka and installing rafters rest ...

I had to get out again:

✔ For a start, I installed bolts on the outer rafters and centrally

✔ Then, on one side, on the bottom board 100 joined to a crossbar 25, which connected the edge in one level.

✔ And put on this board one edge of subsequent crossbars. Then I put it in a level, and the first free end is attached, and then the one that was on the "board-level".

Mount, the same: nails and 12th pins.

That's right, my truss system has intensified.

HonestlyNot all attachment points are made up to the end. It is pouring rain and you need to quickly cover the roof, and the rest can be in the dry finish.
